1 Introduction
The CNI4 is a 4G/LTE, battery-operated, easy to configure dual-channel pulse data logger designed to
support most commercial & Industrial (C&I) smart metering/automatic meter reading (AMR) analog as
well as 2G/3G modem-based applications. The basic CNI4 assembly includes a Cloud Link 4G Modem to
provide cellular communication.
With this advanced cellular pulse data logger, both input channels and stored consumptions can be
independently scaled to different units of measure, providing maximum value and flexibility.
The CNI4 Pulse Data Logger is designed for low-power and outdoor operation.
It is ideal for call-In applications involving meter data management (MDM) and can directly connect to
PowerSpring or couple with the InvisiConnect software to interface with third-party MDM systems.
The CNI4 is fully integrated in the Honeywell Mercury® Instruments ecosystem and is easy to program
through its Bluetooth Low Energy interface and associated configuration software. The unit can be
configured using the same MasterLink software that is used to configure Honeywell Mercury electronic
volume correctors, data loggers and modems. No additional software is required. In addition, MasterLink
is now available as an app that can be installed on IOS and Android devices.
The CNI4 is CSA Class I Div 2 approved, making it a perfect solution for gas measurement applications
where safety is always a concern
Two independent pulse sources may be connected to the input channels, each having its own 3.5vdc
wetting voltage. Since the two channels act as independent accumulators, typical installations might
include:
a. One pulse source (pulse transmitter or meter pulse) connected to either Ch1 or Ch2.
b. Two separate pulse sources (pulse transmitters or meter pulses): Ch1 for the first source and Ch2
for the second source.
c. Pulse outputs from one volume corrector connected to both channels, Ch1 for corrected volume
pulses and Ch2 for uncorrected volume pulses.
In an operational CNI4, pulses received at either input are assigned a fixed amount of volume via their
respective Input Pulse Value selections. Additional pulse scaling can be applied using their respective
Input Pulse Scaling items (if needed) before the pulses are stored (added) to their respective accumulated
totals. Ch1 versus Ch2 volume units can be independently scaled. The number of digits (from 4 to 8
digits) can also be assigned for both channels. Below are the items associated with Accumulated
Volumes:

5 Instrument Mounting Options
A number of options are available for conveniently installing the CNI4 product. These should be clearly
specified at the time of order to ensure that everything the field technician needs is available at the time
of product installation.
5.1 Wall Mounting
Where a flat wall surface is available, such as on the side of a building or shed, stainless steel “hangers”
can be utilized. Illustrated below is the rear view of a CNI4, along with associated mounting dimensions
(in inches).
Figure 5-1: Wall Mounting Tabs and Dimensions
The lockwasher contacts directly with the enclosure, then the hanger, the flat washer, and lastly the
screw. To secure, tighten the screw until snug, but do not over-tighten.

5.2 Meter Mounting
Where it is desired to have an index base mounted directly to a meter, the UMB (Universal Mounting
Bracket) option is available. The advantages of this package is that the entire instrument can be mounted
without any concerns about routing external meter pulse signal wires. Mounting the UMB index base is
possible on rotary, turbine, and diaphragm gas meters that have a rotating instrument drive output. This
includes American, Rockwell, Romet, Roots, or Schlumberger meters.
The UMB housing may be rotated about the base plate so that the instrument and index will face in any
of the four directions. Remove all four screws which attach the base plate to the bracket housing. Replace
and tighten the four screws after you have repositioned the UMB housing.

Notes:
For Canadian installations, install in accordance with Canadian electrical code part 1.
For US installations install in accordance with the national electrical code, ANSJ/NFPA 70,
article 504.
Warning: substitution of components may impair suitability for CLASS 1, DIV2 battery packs
must be replaced only in a non-hazardous atmosphere.
Tb2 is for pulse inputs: connections to tb2 can be made via conduit as per note#1 or without
conduit if one of the following pulse generator options used passive, resistive, non-energy
storing device or devices having entity parameters conforming to table1. These pulse generators
can be located in DIV2 or non hazardous locations. Maximum cable length 200ft. Any
combination of the options for pulse generators are not to be connected simultaneously.
